Her people are from the Nanticoke and Lenape nations of so-called Delaware and New Jersey & the island of Jamaica. Her dissertation research aims to celebrate these connections by using the theories of Critical Indigenous Studies and Critical Black Studies, particularly Black and Indigenous Feminisms, to explore the histories Black and Nanticoke-Lenape peoples from the tidewaters of the Delaware Bay. She considers herself an Afro-Indigenous Feminist, often thinking about the intimate and embodied connections between Black, Native, and Black-Native peoples (especially her grandmothers) as well as their connections to the land, water, and more-than-human relatives.
